How to grow water banyan

1. Breeding conditions

1. Water quality: Water quality needs to be slightly harder when growing water fig. If the water quality is too soft, it is not suitable for plant growth. If there is no lime in the water used to maintain it, its roots are prone to rot.

2. Light: Appropriate amount of light can make green plants grow stronger, and water fig is no exception. However, it is not resistant to strong light, so you should avoid strong light when exposing it to sunlight. It is enough to bask in the sun every morning and evening. The lighting time should not be too long. If it is too long, its branches and leaves will grow too long, affecting the appearance. The daily lighting time should not exceed three hours.

3. Change water: It needs to change water every two days. It is best not to have the water level submerge the roots of the plant. If it does, it will affect its root breathing and be detrimental to its growth.

4. Fertilization: Its growth rate is relatively fast, and it is difficult to meet its needs relying solely on nutrients in the water, so fertilizer needs to be used once every half a month. When choosing a fertilizer, you should choose a nutrient solution that has few side effects and is easy to absorb. When the water banyan absorbs nutrients, the roots account for 70% and the branches and leaves account for 30%. Therefore, in addition to fertilizing the roots, foliar fertilizer should also be used.

2. Reproduction method

The general method of propagation for water fig is water insertion. Choose healthy and intact branches and insert them into water. Place them in a cool place for maintenance, and they will grow roots in about a week.

3. Pest and disease control

Bacteria are more likely to grow in water, so you should change the water frequently during maintenance to avoid bacterial invasion. If you find that the plant is infected with pests, you can use professional pesticides to soak and kill the pests.
